Treasures from Olana

Treasures from Olana

Product Description

Written by Kevin J. Avery. This extraordinary selection of Church’s paintings from his collection at Olana puts the most cherished of his treasures on full display in a volume that includes eighty color plates. The introduction by John Wilmerding and a substantial essay by Kevin J. Avery place the work into the context of Church’s life and travels and examine Church’s influences and the public reception of his art. Throughout Treasures from Olana, they discuss how profoundly Church’s hilltop home and the surrounding landscape inspired and informed his work. His paintings, in turn, illuminate Olana more than a century after his death. Hardcover, 71 pages.
